Career Trajectory: Stable

Allen is worth keeping at almost any reasonable cost: in standard keeper formats he is a smash hold in any single‑QB league if the cost is Round 4 or later, and in superflex/2QB leagues he is worth keeping even at a Round 1–2 price due to his elite ceiling and stability. Only consider trading rather than keeping if your price is extremely high (e.g., first‑round cost in a shallow 1QB league) and you can secure multiple premium assets in return.

Team Situation

The Bills went 12–5 and made the playoffs again, reinforcing organizational stability and Allen’s entrenched role as the offensive centerpiece. While offensive pieces may churn over time, the system continues to run through Allen, keeping his weekly floor and long‑term outlook extremely secure.

Long-term Factors
  • Sustained high passing efficiency in 2025 (102.2 QB rating, 69.3% completions) supports continued elite fantasy output despite modest volume dips.
  • Heavy rushing involvement and red‑zone usage keep his fantasy ceiling among the highest at the position.
  • Secure long‑term role as Buffalo’s franchise QB on a 12–5 playoff team improves job security and supporting‑cast stability.
